*1899 reorganized as the Greenville & Knoxville Railroad.

The Carolina, Knoxville & Western Railroad was built in South Carolina from Greenville to Marietta in 1888. The railroad was originally chartered to build a line from Augusta, GA, to Knoxville, TN. The line was extended to River Falls for a total of 23 miles, and then was abandoned in 1899 (one of the earlier abandonments on record).

The Greenville & Knoxville Railroad was formed to revive the line in 1907 and ran it until 1914. The company was again reorganized as the Greenville & Western in 1914, and was then renamed the Greenville & Northern in 1920. The line was cut back to Travelers Rest in the mid-1950s, but the section between Traveler's Rest and Cleveland was not officially abandoned until 1970.
